OOTD: 22/10/13.

Today's post is an outfit of the day, enjoy!


I wore my light wash denim jacket on top of this black and white polka dot vest. It has a long zip in the middle of it and is fitted around the chest. This is great to wear as part of a casual outfit or can be dressed up.

With these two, I wore some simple black skinny jeans and some black lace flats.

And that's my outfit complete! Thank you for reading and don't forget to leave any comments or suggestions below!

What I wore and where it's from:

Denim Jacket - Topshop
Vest - River Island
Jeans - Newlook
Flats - H&M

REVIEW: Skinetica Anti-Blemish Treatment.

Hello lovelies! Today I have a review for you all.

Recently, I was contacted by Skinetica asking if I wanted to try out one of their products. Naturally, I said yes as I love trying out new skin products and treatments!


Skinetica is an anti-blemish, skin clearing treatment that doubles up as a toner. Skinetica contains no nasty chemicals or ingredients.

This product does not try out your skin as some toners do. It feels as of you are simply applying water to your face and it leaves your skin feeling softer and tighter.

You apply this product like a normal product; pouring it onto a cotton pad and dabbing it onto the skin. I then like to let it set and dry before applying a light moisturiser. Skinetica works for 12 hours even underneath moisturiser or make up and it can also be applied to other areas of your body that have blemishes like your back.

I have actually noticed a difference to my skin and I have been using Skinetic for a few weeks now. My skin looks clearer than before and the small blemishes I had have definitely faded and in some areas conpletely cleared. I wouldn't say it makes a massive difference within the stated 2-3 days but it definitely makes a difference over a week or so.

Overall, I think Skinetica is a very good skin treatment and I will definitely continue to use it as part of my daily skin routine!

You can get this product for yourself at Skinetica's website as well as in some Pharmacies.

As always, thank you for reading!

Have you tried Skinetica before? What did you think?

Hey! I have a nail post for you all today. Enjoy!

So, I just simply painted my nails with this really pretty Oriflame nail polish. It is this very nice pinky mauve colour  - it's natural and really wearable for everyday!



I have never tried any Oriflame nail polishes before but I was really impressed with this one. As I said, the shade is really pretty and the polish is nicely pigmented, too. I only needed to two coats of this polish for it to be opaque!



As always, I topped my polish with a shiny top coat to protect it from chipping. And those are my nails!

Thank you for reading this post, I hope you liked it. Please leave me comments and suggestions, I love to hear from you!

Have you ever tried any Oriflame products?

MOTD: Lilac and Pink.

Today I have a makeup of the day post for you all, enjoy!

To begin, I applied moisturiser, foundation and concealer. I also filled in my eyebrows with a mid brown shadow and brushed them through a little bit.

On the eyes I wore this pretty lilac and dark brown eyeshadow look. I used Sleek's Snapshots palette to create this look by applying the lilac onto the inner two thirds of my eyelid and then I took a copper brown colour and applied that into my outer third and into the crease a little bit. I also took the copper colour and lined my water line with it and took a shimmery white shadow to highlight my inner corner and brown bone. I applied my favourite mascara and the look is complete!



Onto the cheeks and contouring, I contoured using my MUA bronzer and then used my 28 colour blush palette from eBay and used a light baby pink shade on the apples of my cheeks. I also highlighted using my Sleek Face Form palette, applying it to my cheek bones and along the length of my nose.



Onto the lips, I applied some lip balm and then dabbed and blended in a little bit of the matte pink shadow from my Snapshots palette. I took a little bit of my Rimmel Vinyl Gloss lip gloss and applied that on top of the lips for a more shimmery look.


To finish the look, I applied a little bit of powder and that was it!


I hope you like this look and if you give it a go yourself, tell me how it went!

Mini Fashion Haul! 28/09/13.

I have fashion haul for you today! This past week I have picked up a few pieces which I thought i'd share with you. Enjoy!

So, first off I picked up this parka coat. I absolutely love it! I have been searching high and low for the perfect paka coat and I am so happy I managed to find this beauty! I love the fur hood detailing and cosy, fluffy inside. It's super warm and very comfortable. I got this coat from Select Fashion and it cost me  £35 which I think is very reasonable.


Next, I picked up this tartan looking shirt. This shirt is very light weight but not too think and its an oversized fit which I love. I got one size bigger so it would fit a little baggier on me and so that I could wear it with leggings. I really like this shirt and have been looking for something like this for quite a while. I also got this from Select Fashion and it was £14!


Thirdly, I got this really cute grey, woolly hat. I love the fluffy little bobble it has on the top. This hat is nice and thick and will be perfect for the Winter. I found this hat in Newlook and it retails for £6.


Now, last but not least I have this tee shirt. I recently saw my favorite band EVER Paramore in concert and as I always do, I picked up their tour shirt from the merchandise stand. I love this shirt and I know I will be getting a lot of wear out of it. This cost £20 which is actually cheaper than the one they sold at their last tour, no complaints there!


And that was my little haul. I hope you enjoyed this post - thank you for reading it! Leave me a comment or suggestion for future posts, I love to hear from you!
